This is the indictment that those who were horrified by the events of Jan. 6, 2021, have been waiting for. The catalog of misdeeds that Donald Trump is accused of is extensive, some reflected in other prosecutions over classified documents and hush-money payments or in civil lawsuits.

I only wonder how quickly this whole process is going to take. Can’t help but wonder Trumps legal team is going to drag this out as much as possible.
Idk, tho I’m not a law wizard.
Yeah they definitely will try to drag it out. Trump knows that his only surefire way out of this mess is to win the election.
From the article
And further down
and in conclusion the author states
It seems the feds already know exactly his his game, and wrote the indictment to head off as many avenues of delay that he may try to take.
Remember, Trump has decades experience fighting in civil court. Federal court is a very different ballgame.
100% he will, even if he has to “fire” is lawyers the day before the trial begins, which will automatically allow him an extension.
I think the judge has to let them be fired for that very reason? I am not a lawyer but I saw that happen in the Alex Jones trial.
He is no doubt going to try spinning this into a talking point for his election campaign. The same old “they’re only punishing me because they’re crooked demonrats” and all that shit
But then he’s still got his Georgia mess and his NY State mess.
Not sure if there’s anything cooking in Arizona or the Midwest states he tried to swindle votes from, but the chance is probably nonzero.
